The first time I ever talked to Kacie Johnson after getting the job here at the Wilton Villager, we talked about high jumping.

She may or may not remember it, but I was doing a piece another Wilton track athlete and turned to Kacie to get her opinion on her teammate.

Little did I know I was talking to the person about 14 months later would be the high scoring girls lacrosse player in the history of the Wilton High School program.

So her high jump skills were limited. Her ability to take a yellow ball and fire it past a goaltender has made her soar higher than anybody who has ever pulled on those striped socks for that Kacie Johnson gets a Warrior Nation salute this evening.

You know the best thing about Kacie Johnson, though? She's so darn unassuming. She knew she was closing in on the record. She said she read about it time and time again right here on the Warrior Nation Sports Blog (Shameless plug, but somebody's got to do it!) as we counted down her efforts this spring.

She said it would have been nice to get it, but she said she didn't really care if she reached the top and I believe her. She'd trade in every one of her 252 goals to beat Darien and win a state title.

Of course, most everybody who bleeds blue and white knows however that for that to happen, that 252 goal total will go up even higher. As will Johnson's total of 130-and-some-odd assists, too.

She may have set the record for most-ever goals, but Kacie Johnson is a team player. And it will take Kacie and the whole Sunshine Band (aka the Wilton High School girls lacrosse team) to earn a state championship.
